They can give you a lot of help—distance (length of copper from node to your phone point) is one. You could also ask for a good RSP: the rule of thumb is, stay away from RSPs offering unlimited plans. There will be people there from your neck of the woods Aussie.

Find the NBN thread for your exchange, have a read and maybe set up an account and ask a question or two.

The gain comes after you are on FTTN Aussie. ADSL is much more resilient if theoretically slower than FTTH (aka VDSL2, Very high bitrate DSL.)

Distance from the node is 'muy importante'. Do not sign up to NBN if you are further than 800 metres from the nearest NBN node.

Since I forced Telstra and NBN to acknowledge this, my service, with a free $30 per month boost... has been adequate. SLOW, but adequate for my minimal needs.I am told NBN will continue to improve.... as more people in the area are wired up. Hmm. I will wait and see.

As it is..A frikkin failure for Australia.A joke to the folk in Azerbijian

True Monk like any online forum you need to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Yeah, not even the Telecoms Ombudsman can do much, such tiny fines the companies just pay it.

I chose to go wireless, my copper being so crap. The area I am now had all the pits etc marked out in yellow paint, ready to roll out FTTH but the bloody Libs stalled the roll out and now there is a stupid green cabinet on the footpath around the corner

Aussie I had a browse of the internet forum from what I see I think the best provider is a mob called Aussie BroadbandThey purchased the most CVC compared to others and offer flexible plans.I have an account with Telstra when the time comes to join the NBN it will be very doubtful I will stick with them.

Yes, I have already decided I am gone from Telstra etc. And yes.....I have seen that Aussie Broadband mob and they are very inviting.
